The Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association held its annual meeting late last month in Florida and picked three local sheriffs to serve on its slate of officers and board of directors.

DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle has been elected as an officer of the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association.

Arbuckle will serve as sergeant-at-arms on the five-member slate of officers that will be led for the 2014-15 term by Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack. Officer and board elections were held during the association’s four-day conference in Florida that concluded July 31.
